These drugs can cure HIV

 


Post exposure prophylaxis is the process of taking drugs after you've been exposed to HIV. These kind of drugs can only work effectively only if taken within  72 hours ( that is 3 days) after exposure; the earlier you take it the better.

It seems most people have no idea there are drugs like these and also in certain countries, these drugs are not readily available for the general public; these are why the disease keep spreading so quickly in certain parts of the world.
 
According to the Centre For Disease Control and Prevention, "The preferred PEP regimen for otherwise healthy adults and adolescents is tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (300 mg) + emtricitibine (FTC) (200 mg) once daily PLUS raltegravir (RAL) (400 mg) twice daily or dolutegravir (DTG) (50 mg) (once daily)."

According to WebMD, "Women who are in early pregnancy, who are sexually active and could become pregnant while taking PEP, or who were sexually assaulted without birth control should take raltegravir rather than dolutegravir because of a risk of birth defects.
Children 2 or older who need PEP usually get the same drugs in different doses."

Side effects of these drugs include Upset stomach fatigue, headache, diarrhea, and insomnia.

These drugs are for emergency use only; do not take them every day. Read more about pre exposure prophylaxis. With PrEP (pre exposure prophylaxis) drugs, they can be taken every day.
